Evaluation of Transportation Equipment Technology for Use in the Baltimore Region Rapid Transit System

摘要

The report reviews current and anticipated developments in transit system operations equipments as they may particularly apply to the proposed rapid transit system for the Baltimore Region. The primary objective of this evaluation was to provide a realistic set of alternatives upon which to base decisions as to the inclusion of advanced techniques and equipment in the preliminary engineering of the transit system. New concepts and improvement of well-established techniques are examined. Recommendations are included for various system components and subsystems. (Author)
